A t-shirt from the [[Performance_2007#European_spring_tour|early 2007 European tour]] of [[Nine Inch Nails]] had one of the earliest [[Year_Zero#Alternate_Reality_Game|Year Zero alternate reality game]] clues. The highlighted letters spelled out ‘iamtryingtobelieve’ which was found out to be a website when adding “.com” to it.
== Website Discovery==http:On [[2007/02/12 Lisbon, Portugal|February 12th, 2007]], following the initial shows of the Nine Inch Nails 2007 European tour in Lisbon, Portugal, fans noticed a peculiarity on a tour T-shirt—several letters from the tour itinerary on the rear of the shirt were highlighted. The highlighted letters, in order, spelled out "iamtryingtobelieve," which, when adding “.com” to the end, was discovered to be an active website URL. Around the same time, the same URL was also linked to in an update on [[The NIN Hotline|theninhotline.net]].com/
==Content==The site has several sections, describing what Parepin is, listing several undesirable side effects, and suggesting that people try to avoid Parepin. Also prominently featured is a mention content of the phenomenon known as website centers around a drug called [[The PresenceParepin]], which . The unnamed author of the author suggests is website describes a future world in which Parepin-induced hallucinationhas been introduced into municipal water supplies throughout the United States, under the direction of the US government. On The purported reason for this put forward in the bottom of media as excerpted on the last page website is that Parepin is an email address for contacting immune system booster that will protect Americans from biological warfare; apparently in response to biological terror attacks which have occurred on the west coast. However, the website author: water@iamtryingtobelieve's main thesis is that Parepin has no immune system boosting effects, and is in fact a psychoactive drug being used by the government to sedate the population and make them complacent.com
When sending an email to the address listed on the website, the following auto-reply is received:
Thank you for your interest. It is now clear to me that Parepin is a completely safe and effective agent developed to protect us from bio-terrorism. The Administration is acting purely in the best interests of its citizens; to suggest otherwise was irresponsible and I deeply regret it.

I'm drinking the water. So should you.
